Ten Tracks to Sync - Vol. 4
|
We're only at volume four, and already the worlds of still photography and video have come smashing together like two tectonic plates, thanks to the drag-race-paced continental drift towards digital Pangea. I'm speaking of course about the release of the first pocket-sized SLR digital camera that shoots 1080 HD video. While my music video director friends may have already traded their camcorders for camera backs, what this means for you is that pretty soon photos of your newborn child are not gonna cut it - the extended family demands widescreen. Yo Lumiere brothers -pics or it didn't happen. Vimeo user Ciaran is getting a jump on the game by sourcing his home video soundtracks from the FMA. Check out his video below, which utilizes a beautiful track from Twi the Humble Feather's live performance on WFMU. |
You might not want to set your company softball game highlight reel to the lo-fi clanging of Asian Women on the Telephone or Welcome Wizard. But the gauzy, stumbling glitch hop from the Error Broadcast label (KenLo Craqnuques and Pixelord) makes another appearance in this volume and compliments summer evening lulls. Try Dither for wide open spaces.
Look, I know its graduation season. You've already got your son's After the Prom Party olde-time sepia-tone photo booth pics. Just add classic ragtime and bam! Slideshow complete - take that, family email list!
As always, many thanks to the WFMU DJs playing FMA stuff on their shows - you're doing lots of the research legwork for me (Jason, Liz, I see you!!). To all readers, please keep the suggestions coming in for the 10 Tracks to Sync series.
